#BirthdaySpecial: 8 Glamorous Bridal Outfit Inspiration from Malaika Arora

From the moment she started dancing with Shah Rukh Khan on top of a train, Malaika Arora tunnelled her way into our hearts and made a nice, cosy place for herself. From Chaiyya Chaiyya to Munni Badnam, Malaika popularised the concept of item songs in mainstream Bollywood and that trend has stuck ever since.

Her latke-jhatke and enviable figure had most of us girls drowning in a green-coloured pit of envy. Even at the age of 46, she looks young and sexy as ever. On her birthday today, we take a look at some of her gorgeous and luxurious looks that brides can pull off during their wedding celebrations:

1. The Sulakshana Monga light green lehenga with the trail gives your the illusion of a stunning sunset. Coupled with the sleeved blouse and tulle dupatta, this ensemble is an absolute winner. There was a lot of zardozi work used to weave calligraphy on the lehenga.
